What Year is Your Cart?

CLUB CAR

1975 thru 1980
The serial number tag is located… under the seat on the driver’s side of the car, on the aluminum I-beam frame rail, next to the two batteries.  If there serial number tag happens to be missing, you can identify these carts by the fact that they have three foot pedal controls.  One is a regular brake, the other, a parking brake, and the third pedal, the accelerator.

The serial number code is arranged as follows:  A78XX – XXXXX.  In this sequence, the A designates it as an electric model, which is the only model they made (No gas powered carts in those years).  The next two numbers are the year of manufacture.  In the example above, it would have been manufactured in 1978.

1981 thru today (DS Model)

The first 1-2 letters designates the model, the first 2 numbers is the year and the next 2 numbers is the week of the year it was made.
